An airplane travels 2100 km at a speed of 720 km/h and then encounters a tailwind that boosts its speed to 990 km/h for the next 2800 km. What was the total time for the trip? What was the average speed of the plane for this trip?[Hint: Does Eq. 2–11d apply?
A person driving her car at 35 km/h approaches an inter-
section just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that
the yellow light lasts only 2.0s before turning to red, and
she is 28 m away from the near side of the intersection
(Fig. 2–49). Should she try to stop, or should she speed up
to cross the intersection before the light turns red? The
intersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration
is -5.8 m/s?, whereas it can accelerate from 45 km/h to
65 km/h in 6.0 s. Ignore the length of her car and her
reaction time.

Given the question and answers, answer question E below
A mass MI slides on a 45° inclined plane of height H as shown in Fig. 2-14. It is
connected by a flexible cord of negligible mass over a small pulley (neglect its mass) to
an equal-mass M2 hanging vertically as shown. The length of the cord is such that the
masses can be held at rest both at height H/2. The dimensions of the masses and the
-pulley are negligible compared to H. At time t=0 the two masses are released.

(b) Which mass will move downward?
(c) At what time h will the mass identified in part b) strike
the ground?

ground, but the other mass keeps moving, will it strike the
pulley?
